It seems there is a ford recall 15s14 that seems to address this but the dealership refused to fix stating that there is no recall for my fusion. This is a safety issue as the loss of power steering is extremely dangerous in the winter. I am…

Upon disassembly of vacuum pump i found that the driver for the vacuum pump was broken off in the camshaft and the pump was seized. This is a major safety issue i believe that if my wife or daughter had been driving we would have surely…

I was trying to slow down on a small street to make a stop, when my brakes would not slow down. I looked down to see why they weren't working and when i looked back up i was out into the street and got hit on the drivers side by a cement truck. I was put at fault even though i assured them that my brakes were at fault because they did not stop or slow down when i pumped them.

It was difficult to completely stop the vehicle, at lower speeds, but i managed to do so with no damage done to the exterior of the car. I drove my 2014 ford fusion awd a few feet to park the car making it easier for towing to the river town ford's dealership. I saw smoke on the right side of the car coming from the wheel area.…
